The Mountaineers Club's Everett Peak Pin is awarded to those who have climbed 18 of the 21 peaks on this list, with the additional requirement that the 18 peaks be composed of six each from three sub-lists of seven peaks each. The three sub-lists are the Monte Cristo Group (same as Range above), the Index Group (Index-Tolt, Wild Sky, and Ragged Ridge Ranges above), and the Darrington Group (Chaval, Jumbo, Liberty, Pugh, Three Fingers, White Chuck, and Whitehorse).
This is a challenging list any way you look at it, with almost all summits requiring at least a scramble to reach the summit. The terrain in the Cascades east of Everett, Washington is very rugged and dramatic, with deep forested valleys rising abruptly to glacier-clad summits. Don't let the low elevations here fool you--6000 to 7000 foot peaks here are often more challenging than summits twice that high in the Rockies.

Associated Press HARRISBURG – The NCAA wasted no time in challenging a new Pennsylvania law designed to keep the $60 million Penn State fine over the Jerry Sandusky scandal in the state, filing a federal challenge to the legislation hours after Gov. Tom Corbett signed it Wednesday.
State and congressional lawmakers have objected to use of the NCAA fine to finance child abuse prevention efforts in other states.
The complaint asks a federal judge to throw out the Pennsylvania Institution of Higher Education Monetary Penalty Endowment Act, saying it violates provisions of the U.S. Constitution. It also asks for an injunction to prevent the law from being enforced.
Defendants in the lawsuit are Corbett and three state officials who would be involved in handling or monitoring the money: the auditor general, treasurer and chairman of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency.
Corbett believes the bill 'makes sense and is the right thing to do,' spokeswoman Janet Kelley said. The lawsuit is under review, she said.
Penn State signed a consent decree last summer in which it agreed to the fine, a four-year football bowl ban and other penalties shortly after a scathing report into how school officials handled reports that Sandusky, a former assistant football coach, was behaving inappropriately with children. He was convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys and is serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence.
'By seizing the funds and restricting eligibility to benefit from the funds only to Pennsylvania programs benefiting only Pennsylvania residents, the act will defeat the consent decree's plain terms and frustrate the parties' intended purpose,' the NCAA's lawyers wrote.
The lawsuit claims the new legislation is unconstitutional because it directs state officials to collect money to which the state is not entitled. It argues the state has no legal right to abridge the contract between the NCAA and Penn State and says the new law tries to regulate transactions by out-of-state entities in violation of the Commerce Clause.
NCAA President Mark Emmert released a statement saying that it was important that the organization's members abide by its rules and that college sports would be 'dramatically altered' if others are responsible for deciding what penalties are appropriate.
NCAA lawyer Donald Remy said the lawsuit concerned legal issues of importance to anyone who does business with state-related or private entities.
'The state has attempted to grant itself the ability to do whatever it wants to whomever it wants,' Remy said. 'The United States Constitution does not permit this kind of legislative overreach.'
Joe Metz, a Harrisburg lawyer with federal litigation experience, said the NCAA's lawsuit had promise, particularly because the law was passed after the consent agreement was signed.
'It's impossible to predict how something like this will go, but it's definitely something I'd read carefully and think about, that's for sure,' said Metz, who is not involved in the case.
Penn State, which has made the first of five $12 million payments, is not a party to the litigation. An NCAA task force will determine how the money is spent.
Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, a defendant in the case, issued a statement that said people should 'remember that this should all be about the kids.'
'I take very seriously my role of ensuring that money is spent in accordance with Pennsylvania law and the distribution of that funding is now dictated by (the bill) which was enacted into law today,' DePasquale said.
The alumni watchdog group Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship also criticized the NCAA for being in a tailspin and having 'lost sight of the children.' The group called the sanctions unfair and illegal but said the fine money, if allowed to be levied, should be put toward giving parents an educational video on how to identify the characteristics of child sexual predators.
'Short of that, this is a ridiculous sideshow that's horribly unbecoming to the parties involved,' the group said in a statement Wednesday night.
In January, Corbett filed his own federal lawsuit in the matter, accusing the NCAA of antitrust violations and seeking to have all of the consent decree's penalties thrown out. A request by the NCAA to have that case dismissed is pending.
Also Wednesday, the NCAA told two Pennsylvania congressmen it disagrees with their argument that taking some football scholarships away from Penn State unfairly punished innocent student-athletes.
Reps. Charlie Dent and Glenn Thompson released a letter from Emmert that said no Penn State athletes lost scholarships and that each athlete remains eligible for a scholarship at Penn State or another school.

The government's subsidy policy for sanitation needs to be more effective and more money should be allocated if Bangladesh is to meet is target of sanitation for all' by 2013, experts say.
This is the conclusion of a study conducted among 21,121 households by the Human Development Research Centre (HDRC) with the support of WaterAid, UNICEF, and the Ministry of Local Government Division.
Economist Abul Barakat, who led the research team, said a Union Parishad, the lowest tier of the local government, receives Tk 145,000 [US$ 1,910] while a Pourashabha or municipality gets Tk 292,000 [US$ 3,840] a year in sanitation subsidy. "But the allocation is not properly utilised."
Barakat attributed the ineffective use of the subsidy to an 'unclear' definition of the target groups, local government leaders' lack of knowledge about the strategy and the fact that subsidy allocations were too low to purchase latrine materials.
Based on the study findings, Barakat said, the 'eligibility' criteria of getting government subsidised latrines should be fixed as poor families still cannot access sanitation.
He also mentioned that poor sanitation costs Bangladesh over Tk 295 billion (US$ 3.88 billion) a year which amounts to 6.3% of the total GDP,
The study stated that 17% of the subsidised latrines are not working.
In many upazilas, still, the subsidy went to the mosques and market places rather than to the households. "It's because there is no clear definition of eligibility criteria."
The findings also show, in rural areas 35 percent hard-core poor built latrines on their own while it is 37 percent in urban areas.
Some 24% of the households surveyed do not have any improved latrine in villages while the rate is 21 percent in urban areas.
Wateraid representative in Bangladesh Dr Md Khairul Islam said that the local government division needs to revise the current Tk 520 [US$ 7.10) subsidy for a latrine.
"It's almost a third of the present market price," he said, adding due to poor allocation local leaders sometimes refrain from providing latrines as they cannot buy a quality product with such 'paltry' amount.
The government started subsidising in the sanitation sector in 2004 aiming to ensure sanitation for all by 2010 but the target was later reset to 2013.
The study showed over the seven financial year (2004 to 2010) Tk 4 billion (US$ 5352.6 million0 was allocated through 42 projects.
According to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, the sanitary latrine coverage in Bangladesh was 51.5 percent in 2010.

Occasionally, we here at Ars like to nerd out about things that aren't smartphones, processors, or dark matter. For a few of us on staff, one of those nerdy pastimes involves the plant biology that is literally right in our backyards. People pick up gardening for numerous reasons, but one reason I got into it was because of the science. There's so much to learn about plant biology when you go hands-on, even at a small scale. I grow a lot of stuff in my Chicago garden, and while not everything is a success, it provides great opportunities to learn and iterate.
But not a lot of people are into gardening, relatively speaking. Or so I thought—when I semi-jokingly tweeted that I would begin making garden posts here on Ars, the response was overwhelmingly positive. So we thought we would experiment with a weekend feature on cloning plants to get things started.
How to root a tomato cutting (aka "clone" a tomato plant)
Tomatoes are some of the most popular fruits to grow at home, and they're my personal favorite as well. Depending on where you live, you might have a long enough growing season to get back-to-back plantings going, and it's not always fun to start from seed. Or you might want to give away some plants to friends and neighbors. You might even have a friend who grows amazing tomatoes and you want one of those for yourself.
Whatever the case, it's extremely easy to grow new tomato plants from cuttings. If you're not familiar, it is exactly what it sounds like—a piece of an existing plant that you cut off. No roots, no nothing. Just a piece of a plant and some dirt.
For the first part of this tutorial, I'm using a two-week-old baby tomato plant as the example. Toward the end, I do the same thing, but with a cutting from an adult plant in order to "clone" it. The process is exactly the same for both, though you may have to be gentler with the young plants versus mature cuttings.
Why might you start with a baby tomato plant that has been cut off? I had to cut this plant from its roots because it was too close to its sibling in the starter cup. (The roots were too intertwined for me to feel comfortable separating them without damaging the one I wanted to keep.) Typically this is just called "thinning," when gardeners go in and cut off all but the best seedling. But sometimes you want to save the ones you're cutting off. Like I said, the process is exactly the same whether you're dealing with baby plants or mature branches.
So you have the cutting (seen above). Some gardeners like to scrape the sides of the stem with a sharp knife or a razor blade in order to stimulate root growth, but it's not required:
Once that's done, I also like to slice the bottom at a clean, diagonal angle.
I put my root down
At this point, people sometimes like to use rooting hormone. In my experience this is entirely unnecessary for tomato plants—they root so easily, there's no need to spend the money on it. Plus, many commercial rooting hormones contain pesticides, meaning they're not fit for organic gardening. But if you want to use it, you can—there are other plants that don't root so easily, so if you plan to take cuttings from other things, it might be useful.
Commercial rooting hormone contains auxin, which is a naturally occurring hormone that plants also generate themselves. Auxin is key for plants' cell growth; in particular, its presence helps a plant decide when it's time to put out more roots (versus, say, more leaves up top). Synthetic auxin is what you find in the bottle at the garden center. Applying it to a root-less stem or cutting boosts the auxin levels in that area of the plant, essentially telling it to start putting out more roots where it has been applied. (This is a very basic explanation; there are white papers upon white papers about the effects of auxin if you're interested in going down the rabbit hole.)
But tomato plants are already dying to put out new roots along the length of the vine—sometimes, gardeners notice tomatoes trying to put out new roots above ground on their own if the stem is constantly being splashed with water. You can bury a fairly large tomato plant with only the top poking out of the soil, and it will eventually put out roots along the entire length of plant that you buried. Many other plants do not do this—by default, they only put out roots from the original root ball—which is why you might want to use a rooting hormone to help those cuttings put out new roots. If you choose to use rooting hormone with a tomato cutting, though, it usually just means it will put out roots even faster than it would have on its own.
For rooting hormone, there are two kinds: gel and powder. If you're using the gel, you would use something (a knife, or whatever you have) to lightly coat the outside of the cutting. If you're using powder, dip your cutting into some water and then into the powder to coat the stem.
Now, whether you're using rooting hormone or not, stick the stem into a smallish cup filled with soil. (I used compost because that's what I had available, but you could use any garden soil or seed starter mix. I personally do not recommend just using soil from your lawn, although if you did, I'm sure it would work fine.) Make sure there are holes poked in the bottom of the cup—I poke holes in plastic cups using a barbecue skewer. I like to use the translucent cups for cuttings because it lets me know when the plant has finally rooted, but they're not the best choice once you get to growing. We'll get to that later.
Once you have your cutting nestled in a cup full of soil, water it well (to the point where water is dripping out the holes in the bottom), and place a plastic baggie over the top:
The baggie is to help keep moisture in so the plant can continue to live while it works on putting out new roots. Without the baggie, the cutting would lose all of its water through its leaves and die, so this is a necessary step. Within a few hours of doing this (whether with a baby plant or a mature cutting), your cutting will most likely wilt and look like it's about to die:
That's because it's no longer getting water through its roots. During the editing of this piece, one Ars staffer asked why the cutting doesn't just shrivel up and die. As long as it's getting water somehow—in this case, by basically "submerging" the stem in wet soil and making sure it doesn't lose too much water through its leaves—a cutting can stay alive for an almost alarmingly long time. But exposing a root-less stem to water will only work for so long, because it's more difficult to absorb water through its stem than through roots, and it will die eventually without more help. (This is why cut flowers from the flower shop can stay alive and beautiful for days after you purchase them, as long as you keep them in a vase with water. But the vase isn't magical, so they eventually die.)
That's why auxin is important; the plant is generating its own auxin in order to put out new roots so it can stay alive for the long term. Or if you're using rooting hormone, the synthetic auxin is there to help tell the plant "put out roots now!"
Don't worry; as long as you watered your soil and have a bag over the top, the wilted cutting should come back in about a day or so.
Taking a cutting from a mature plant
Here I have a horrible-looking tomato plant that I grew indoors all winter. It's not particularly large—maybe a foot tall at best—and I'm ready to just clone it and start over outside. (See? Easier than starting from seed.)
First, you have to select a good cut. You can do this from the "top" of the plant or from one of the suckers (or side shoots), as long as it's big enough. Keep in mind that it can't just be any old leaf you select from the plant. New growth has baby leaves coming out of it—it's not a leaf itself. I decided to make my cut a few leaves down from the top, like so:
I've made a diagonal cut and am now holding my cutting that I will turn into a clone of the original plant.
But this piece is huge—it will lose a ton of water through its leaves if I leave it as-is. As such, it's wise to cut off all the bottom leaves and suckers in order to come out with a bare minimum of leaves to survive.
Above is the piece I had left after I trimmed everything I wanted to trim. I should have also trimmed those flower buds that you can see on the top left side. By leaving them on, I'm risking this cutting trying to flower and produce tomatoes immediately after it roots, and I don't want that because I want the plant to put its energy into growing bigger first. Luckily, I can cut off those flower buds at any time.
After scraping the sides (like I did above with the 2-week-old seedling), once again stick it into a cup with some soil, water it, and put a baggie over it. For the first day, you may want to put it in a shaded area. After that, put it in a sunny windowsill (but not outside) so it gets some light, but not enough to stress the plant while it's putting out new roots. Make sure to keep the soil moist (but not soaking) during this time.
After about a week (give or take a few days either way), your tomato cutting should have formed new roots. It will look something like this:
This is why I like to use translucent cups for rooting cuttings, because it allows me to see when the plant has rooted without me having to constantly remove it from its cup. But if you used opaque cups, that's fine—after a week or so, put your hand over the top of the cup with the stem in between your fingers, turn it upside down, wiggle the cup a bit, and slide the cup off. You should see at least a few roots; if you don't, put it back in and wait a little longer.
Once your cutting has rooted itself, it's basically a new plant. If you're using translucent cups like I am, you'll want to re-pot into something opaque (and preferably larger). Roots can easily die off when exposed to sunlight, so you don't want to continue growing in something that can allow light through. If you're cheap like me, you could pot up into something like a 16oz Solo cup (with holes poked in the bottom) and it would be fine. Or, since it's getting to be nice out already, you could plant your newly rooted tomato plant directly outside, or into its final container that it will grow from.
There are a number of reasons why this is cool. As I wrote earlier, doing this can speed up the process and remove some of the tediousness (plus lots and lots of failure) of starting your own seeds. It's even cooler, though, because you basically get unlimited free plants out of it—you could take a cutting from a friend or neighbor, or take your own cuttings in order to multiply the plants you're growing in your own garden. If you live in a climate with warm winters like Florida or Mexico, you could take cuttings from your plants that are already finished and dying in order to start new plants for a second growing season. Or if you're like me, you just like making clones for the sake of doing so, because generating independent new plants from existing ones is a fun activity. Kids love it, too.
Again, you can do this with tons of different plants. Roses are a common one (though you should be careful—many rose varieties are now patented, and the companies forbid you from propagating them via cuttings without paying. To them, it's like torrenting an illegal copy of the rose). Herbs like basil and rosemary are also very common; in fact, I find starting rosemary from seed next to impossible, so cuttings are really my only hope.
You can also clone pepper plants, eggplants, grape vines—the list goes on forever. I once took a cutting from my grandmother's hydrangea bush in California, wrapped it in a damp paper towel, put it in a plastic baggie, and flew with it back to Chicago before rooting it at home. The only thing to keep in mind is that some plants take a lot longer than tomatoes to put out new roots—cuttings from woody plants, like roses, can sometimes take months. But once you get the hang of the process, it's kind of addictive to just start trying to root everything.
If posts like this interest you and you'd like to see more, or if you have other garden science questions that you'd like to see answered, please leave your comments in the discussion or shoot me an e-mail directly. In the meantime, if you're interested in learning more about how gardening can change communities, I recommend watching guerrilla gardener Ron Finley's TED talk and then heading outside to, as he put it, "plant some sh*t."

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) once said that she suffered two bad accidents in her life. The first one occurred on September 17, 1925. It would transform her life forever. Frida was only 18.
It was a gray day. A light rain had just fallen. After spending the afternoon wandering among the street stalls of downtown Mexico City, Frida and her boyfriend Alex Gómez Arias caught a bus that would take them home to Coyoacán. The new bus was brightly painted with two benches along the sides. It was nearly full but Alex and Frida found seats together near the back. The bus driver sped off to cross the busy streets on his way out of town.
As the bus driver began to turn onto Calzada de Tlapan, a street trolley approached. The bus driver rashly tried to pass in front of the turning streetcar. He didn't make it. Alex remembers the point of impact:
The electric train [streetcar] with two cars approached the bus slowly. It hit the bus in the middle. Slowly the train pushed the bus. The bus had a strange elasticity. It bent more and more, but for a time it did not break. It was a bus with long benches on either side. I remember that at one moment my knees touched the knees of the person sitting opposite me. I was sitting next to Frida. When the bus reached its maximal flexibility it burst into a thousand pieces, and the train kept moving. It ran over many people.
I remained under the train. Not Frida. But among the iron rods of the train, the handrail broke and went through Frida from one side to the other at the level of the pelvis."
Frida said that the "handrail pierced me the way a sword pierces a bull." Alex continues:
When I was able to stand up, I got out from under the train. I had no lesions, only contusions. Naturally the first thing that I did was to look for Frida.
Something strange had happened. Frida was totally nude. The collision had unfastened her clothes. Someone in the bus, probably a house painter, had been carrying a packet of powdered gold. This package broke, and the gold fell all over the bleeding body of Frida. When people saw her, they cried, 'La bailarina, la bailarina!' With the gold on her red, bloody body, they thought she was a dancer.
I picked her up….and then I noticed with horror that Frida had a piece of iron in her body. A man said, 'We have to take it out!' He put his knee on Frida's body and said, 'Let's take it out.' When he pulled it out, Frida screamed so loud that when the ambulance from the Red Cross arrived, her screaming was louder than the siren. Before the ambulance came, I picked up Frida and put her in the display window of a billiard room. I took off my coat and put it over her. I thought she was going to die. Two or three people did die at the scene….others died later."
Frida's condition was so grave doctors didn't believe they could save her. They thought she would die on the operating table. Her spinal column was broken in three places in the lumbar region. Her collarbone was broken and her third and fourth ribs. Her right leg had eleven fractures and her right foot was dislocated and crushed. Her left shoulder was out of joint, her pelvis broken in three places. The steel handrail produced a deep abdominal wound, entering through the left hip and exiting through the genitals. She convalesced for two years though she would never fully recover.
It was while she was confined to bed that Frida began to paint, using a small lap easel her mother bought for her. Frida had a mirror hung overhead in the canopy of her bed so she could use her reflection as a beginning subject for portraits.

The wind-drifted snow created cool ice formations.
Juneau's version of the desert.
Sean walks along Gold Ridge. I really like this photo.
The Juneau Ridge and a fog-shrouded Blackerby Ridge in the distance.
Looking toward Sheep Mountain and Clark Mountain.
This tower of unknown origin toppled over and was devoured by rime ice.
Sean brought homemade pizza, topped with asparagus, tomatoes and Yukon Gold potato slices, to snack on at the top. It wasn't even frozen yet.
As we slid down, clouds started to move in from the southwest.
Heading back down to town. Total distance was about eight miles. Total time was four hours. The waist-deep wallowing definitely slowed us down, but for the most part, it made for a relaxing morning.

One of the most unappreciated widgets among the WordPress Widget collection is the Text Widget.
There are many Widgets that come with WordPress, and many more you can add with Widget WordPress Plugins. The Text Widget is not a WordPress Plugin, it comes with the basic installation of WordPress and WordPress.com. The Text Widget helps you add content that goes beyond these, helping you add simple or complicated things to your sidebar or any widgetized area of your blog.
Many don't know what to do with it, are afraid or uncertain how to use it, and fearful of HTML, so let's make this simple and easy and help you explore all the things you can do with the WordPress Text Widget.
What Can I Do with the WordPress Text Widget
There are so many things you can do with the WordPress Text Widget. Here is just a sample.

Anything you can form with HTML can go into your WordPress Text Widget.
The Text Widget is designed to hold text and HTML code. The most basic HTML code is used, so go forward with confidence that you can add almost anything you wish to the WordPress Text Widget as long as you are patient, careful, and follow the simple instructions.
Let's look at some of the basic things you can do with a Text Widget. From there, it's up to your imagination.
How Do I Add a WordPress Text Widget
The WordPress Text Widget is one of the widget options that comes in the basic installation of WordPress and WordPress.com, no Plugin required. It adds an HTML container to your WordPress Theme's sidebar. If the WordPress Theme has been totally widgetized, you can add the Text Widget to the header, footer, or other areas within the Theme.
- Go to Themes > Widgets in the WordPress Administration Panels.
- Open the sidebar you wish to add the Text Widget to.
- Find the Text Widget in the list of Widgets.
- Click and drag it to the spot you wish it to appear within the sidebar or other container on your Theme.
To Open and Edit the Text Widget, click the down arrow to the right of the Text Widget title.
- Set the Text Widget Title.
- Add the text or HTML to the box or edit it.
- Optionally, choose to Automatically add paragraphs to wrap each block of text in an HTML paragraph code (recommended unless manually coding everything).
- Click Save to save the Text Widget.
- Click the "close" link to close the Text Widget.
|WordPress.com Users:
WordPress.com users can do most of these suggestions with their WordPress Text Widget. WordPress.com users cannot use JavaScript, PHP, iframes, and other code as listed in the WordPress.com Terms of Service.
To see the changes instantly, open your site in a new tab in your browser and look. Go back and make changes if necessary, then reload the tab with the site view to see the changes.
WordPress Text Widget Code Examples
The WordPress Text Widget has long been a favorite of mine, helping me to break through Theme restrictions to add customized bits of information and images.
Here are some simple examples you can use to add some flair to your own WordPress blog.
Text in the Text Widget
Adding text to the Text Widget is the simplest thing you can do. You can tell the world what your blog is about, include a photograph of yourself or your brand/logo, direct readers to specific areas of interest on your blog, make announcements…the list is really endless.
A Text Widget consists of the title of the Widget and the text box holding the words or code you add. Fill in both with text, making two line breaks (ENTER keystrokes) between paragraphs, choose "Automatically add paragraphs" and save. View the results by reloading your site's page in a separate tab.
For the introduction description in the top of my sidebar here, I wanted the text to be the same as the HTML heading font, so I left the text box empty and pasted the entire sentence in the title.
I could have titled it "Welcome" or "What You Need to Know" and put the text in the text box, but it didn't look right. Depending upon your WordPress Theme options and your ability to control the look of the Text Widget, you can use either one. Later in the article I'll show you how to change the CSS styles for the Text Widget box.
Adding an introduction and description near the top of your sidebar is a great way of welcoming visitors to your blog by helping them understand
Adding Links to the Text Widget
Links in the WordPress Text Widget can be a list or within a sentence. Use properly coded HTML anchor tags to create the links.
To put links within a sentence, add them as you would within a blog post. You can use the WordPress Post panel to create the sentence or paragraphs with the links and copy the HTML and paste it into your Text Widget.
To manually create a link in a sentence, use the following example which was titled "Blogging Tips," editing appropriately.
Use Google Alerts to set up keyword search terms and have Google search for trends, article ideas, and topics within their database and news indexes, bringing the latest results to your email inbox.
If you are using multiple paragraphs, remember to choose "Automatically add paragraphs" to format the text into paragraphs.
To create a list of links, which could be a list of blogs you recommend, links to specific articles, categories, or tags on your blog, use the HTML Lists code. You can do this in the Post HTML editor or manually.
[TIP: Do not use 'target="_blank" to open the link in a new page. To do so without warning is a violation of web standards.]
This is an example of my manually created Most Popular Posts list before WordPress.com added the feature to do it automatically.

You can add text to introduce your list of links, and even add images to the list of links. We'll cover that in the next section.
If you wish to add contact information such as your social media sites, email, and other contact information via the Text Widget, you can do so.
Get the social media links to your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and other social media sites. Put them in a text link or wrapped around an image, as described below.
To add your email address, instead of
http use
mailto and add your email address disguised or obfuscated for your own protection and security. See Protection From Harvesters on the WordPress Codex and my article on protecting your email for more details and specifics.
Adding Images to the Text Widget
You can add any graphic or photographic image to the WordPress Text Widget. The image width must not exceed the width of the sidebar minus some padding (if your sidebar is 200 pixels wide, set the image to be 180 pixels width to start). Keep image file sizes small to speed up page loading.
To add an image to a Text Widget:
- Upload the image first to the WordPress Media Library.
- Click the File URL button to put the image file location in the form above it (see screenshot below).
- Copy the link that appears in the form for Link URL.
- Click Save Changes.
- Exit the Media Library.
- Go to Appearance > Widgets.
- Add or edit the Text Widget in which you wish the image to appear.
- Enter the following, pasting in the image location or URL and editing the HTML accordingly, and save.

Here is a full example:

Save and preview the results.
Here are some tips for fine tuning the image in the Text Widget.
- If the image is too wide, either upload a smaller image, or reduce the width by setting the width in the image smaller and removing the height, similar to the example above.
- If you wish to float the image to the left or right so text will wrap around it, add
class="alignright"to the HTML anchor tag's code. Ensure the image will not crowd the text in the sidebar by making it small enough to fit.
- To center the image in the sidebar's text widget, add
class="aligncenter"to the code.
- To make a row of images, remove the align classes and put a space between each image.
- To make a column of images, use the center alignment (option) and put each image on its own line with one to two spaces between them.
Adding Links to Images in the Text Widget
If you would like some action associated with the images you add to the Text Widget, you can wrap them in a link.
In my sidebar, I have a variety of images wrapped in links. Clicking them will take you to another page on my site. These are excellent ways of promoting specific pages, articles, article series, books, products, categories, tags, and other content on your site.
If you choose to link the image to an off-site location, make sure the image clearly indicates the visitor will be leaving the site.
Begin with an image as described above which fits appropriately within the sidebar. Add the HTML anchor link before the image and the closing tag after.

Save and reload your test page and click the link. If it doesn't work, check the code carefully to ensure that all the < and > and quote marks are in the right place.
To make a row of linked images such as I did with my social media links, use the tips above under creating images in the text widget to align them in a row or column or otherwise.
This is what I used to create the list of article series badges/icons in the sidebar. The images are wrapped in links to the article series or category and set two images per line with a space between the link and image codes. No alignment styles are added. This creates a simple column of images to create a directory listing of popular article series I've written, promoting them.
Adding Images to a Link List
Sometimes you might want to add an image to a link list, before or after each text link in the list. Some like to add symbols or icons to represent the content found on the link's destination.
To add images to a link list, place the image within the link anchor tag just before the anchor text. Depending upon the image, you might want to add a space between the image and anchor link tags.
Make sure the image is sized to not distort the lines or words. As the images are not key to the entire navigation of the site as they are accompanied by text, there is no need to add the ALT information, just leave it blank.

Adding Video to a Text Widget
You can add video in a variety of ways to a WordPress Text Widget. The video can come from any source such as YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler, WordPress.tv, or DailyMotion. Do remember that you cannot add unapproved video embed codes to WordPress.com blogs. See WordPress.com Videos Support for the specific list and shortcode examples.
The most simple method is to add it to a post and copy the HTML and paste it into the Text Widget.
Like images, take care that the video does not force itself to be too wide. Some shortcodes will allow control of the width and most embed codes will also allow control of the width. If you change the width, either remove the height or set it properly to maintain perspective.
You can also use the embed code from any video service. This is an example from WordPress.tv, using WordPress shortcodes.
[wpvideo IlQ8Xujq]
This is a sample from WordPress.tv, Viddler, and Vimeo on this WordPress.com blog.
[wpvideo IlQ8Xujq] [viddler id=76616e19&w=190] [viddler id=ba1ed7b4&w=190] http://vimeo.com/7835100 [wpvideo pbVUmXjA]
For full version WordPress blogs, you can simply use the video's embed code, such as this example.
Adding Maps to a Text Widget
Guiding someone to your store location or the location of an event and want a map visible in the sidebar? You can put a Google map in a Text Widget using the map service embed code.
Here is the Text Widget code for a text link with directions from the San Francisco Airport to the offices of Automattic and WordPress which will work in a sentence and with WordPress.com blogs.
Driving Directions to Automattic Offices
To include the actual map helps the visitor even more. They can zoom in and out of the map and move it around. It can be a map showing a location or featuring the directions from a nearby landmark by car, public transportation, walking, etc.
To use the Google Maps embed code in full versions of WordPress, you would use an example like this:
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=San+Francisco,+California+(San+Francisco+International+Airport)&daddr=3+Pier,+San+Francisco,+CA+94111+(GigaOM)&hl=en&geocode=Fdj9PQIdAZW0-CGPprokJLPSNw%3BFbi-QAId-GO0-CkB_2BLZ4CFgDFQ8lZCVq-Eqw&sll=37.707336,-122.393851&sspn=0.225986,0.506744&vpsrc=0&mra=pd&ie=UTF8&ll=37.707455,-122.393875&spn=0.18297,0.02288&t=h&output=embed">
View Larger Map
Ads, Affiliates, Events, Subscriptions, and More
For those using the full version of WordPress, you can use the above tips and techniques for adding affiliate links, advertising, promotions, subscriptions, forms, events, and many other things to the WordPress Text Widget.
If you have a book to promote and sell, or a specific project you wish to highlight or feature, you can include it in a Text Widget with a link around it to its destination.
Working with a newsletter WordPress Plugin or service. Get the embed code for their subscription and add it to the Text Widget.
To highlight an event, you can write a text announcement about the event with a link to it or use a badge or graphic wrapped in a link as described above. I do this often in my sidebar to highlight conferences I'm speaking at or participating in.
If you travel and attend many conferences and events, you can keep a schedule in a Text Widget and update it when an event passes or new one lands on the schedule. You can group it chronologically or by month or year depending upon the number of events. Put them in lists with links to the event information or a page on your WordPress blog announcing the event.
Here's an example using an Amazon affiliate link with the book image saved on my site, which can speed up page loading:

The same technique applies to JavaScript and other embed codes for full version WordPress blogs. However, you cannot add PHP to a Text Widget unless you use a WordPress Plugin that permits the use of code in this way. Advanced Text Widget WordPress Plugin, Allow PHP in Posts and Pages WordPress Plugin, Code Insert Manager (Q2W3 Inc Manager), Shortcode Exec PHP, and others will override WordPress restrictions on using PHP in posts, though not all may work with Widgets.
Styling the Text Widget
Full versions of WordPress and those using the CSS Extra option for styling WordPress.com blogs can style Text Widgets in a variety of ways. You may never want to make any changes, but with a little CSS experience, you have the option to customize the look and feel of each Text Widget.
Most WordPress Themes present Widgets in an unordered list format. The following code is a simplified example.

Widget Title for First Text Widget

Text within the text widget area.

Widget Title for Second Text Widget

Text for second widget text area.

The CSS styles include:
widget:The class for the widget item within the list.
widget_text:Another class for the widget item within the list.
h3.widgettitle:The heading HTML tag within the widget area to hold the Widget title.
textwidget:The class for the text area of the Text Widget
li.widget, li.widget_text, li.textwidget:Styles directly associated with the list item.
ul.sidebar ul:The HTML child container for lists within the Widget lists, if chosen to be styled differently.
li.sidebar li:The list item for a child list within the Widget lists.
p.widget, p.textwidget:The paragraph HTML tag within the widget areas to style text.
p.widget a, p.textwidget a:The HTML anchor tag to style links within the widget and text widget areas.
Each sidebar or widgetized section is set in a parent style such as
#primary, #secondary, #footer, etc., as well as the class for
footer, etc. To permit further styling control, each text box automatically generates its own ID such as
text-1, text-2, etc., going down the sidebar list. Check your WordPress Theme source code and stylesheet for specifics as they may be different.
You may also be able to add styles within the Text Widget itself.
What Will You Do With Your WordPress Text Widget
There are so many things you can do with a WordPress Text Widget. Use your imagination. Put pictures of your kids or their crayon drawings in the sidebar. Post your manifesto. List your to do list or new year's goals. Just saw a movie you can't get out of your mind, put the trailer video in a Text Widget. Got a favorite song? Why not add a link to the MP3 for everyone to listen.
I can't possibly cover all the many ways you can use the Text Widget, so share yours. What fun things have you done with the Text Widget on your WordPress blog.

Condensed Milk Pound Cake
July 24, 2012 at 8:36 pm 82 comments
Today, after work, after eating lunch in my car and then driving home, I found myself back in bed. Even though it was only three o'clock. For some reason that made me feel old – shouldn't I be outside, doing something fun? So I compromised by sitting up and writing for the first time in a long time.
What's new? Still missing the excitement of studying abroad, this semester I got busy. I took a British literature class tougher than leather. I juggled two jobs, maintaining a 50 hour work week. I declared an art history minor and surprised myself, mostly, by taking a solo trip to New Orleans. In April I celebrated my 20th birthday. Best of all, I landed an editorial/social media internship with America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated Magazine, which I'll be continuing in the fall (more on that later!)
What I didn't do was bake. I blamed it on my lack of time, on the fact that my dorm's mousy kitchen didn't get any natural light and constantly smelled microwaved, and on the expense of ingredients. But truthfully, there at the midpoint of my college career, many things that seemed everlasting in high school had changed. I found myself drawn to new opportunities. Like finding an apartment – living in the freshman dorms was fun and kind of campy, but it was a drag this year, and moving on felt right.
I scoured Craigslist and contacted realtors, explaining our budget and requirements. We're looking for three equally sized bedrooms, a big living room, and windows. We don't mind commuting to campus, but proximity to the T is a must. Finally, because I couldn't help myself, a nice kitchen.
A week later I fell in love with the third apartment we saw, and then nothing else could live up to its standard. A ground floor apartment, we were warned that its upstairs neighbors could be "rowdy" and that mice lived in the walls. The price didn't include heat or utilities. The apartment looked more like a house than a complex, which I liked, but it was 40 minutes away on the B line, which was notorious for filling up and breaking down. As the last straw, it was a twelve minute walk from the subway stop, and that was enough for my friend S- to reject the place altogether.
"You realize how cold that'll be in the winter?" she'd later say. "Plus, I don't want to get mugged at night."
I overlooked all of that because the apartment had charm. So many places we went on to consider were convenient, sure, and met our requirements on paper. But none of them felt as much like home as this one. I liked the character of the crown molding, the funky bamboo door to the bathroom, the stained glass detail at the top of the windows. But the kitchen sealed my fate.
I'd buried my interest in cooking for so long that I was surprised to care. But walking in and seeing the clean countertops, new-enough oven, and ample sunlight stopped me cold. While my friends snapped photos of the other rooms, I opened all the cabinets and stuck my head in the fridge. I saw myself setting out eggs and sifting spices. Making cupcakes for birthdays and cookies for the holidays. The kitchen was big enough for a lot of people to hang out, big enough for a fold up table in the corner (maybe I could sit there and blog?). Big enough to make me miss baking.
In my head, my future with baking hitched itself to my future with this kitchen, and I fought hard. I debated with my girlfriends the entire ride back, pleaded for a few more days, then finally, reluctantly, agreed to drop it.
We continued looking for another month. Then one of my friends bowed out due to financial reasons. April loomed and I panicked when the on-campus housing deadline approached. At the last minute I requested a single room in a six-person suite, locking in a junior year of dorm life. Disappointment steeped through me like bitter tea, hot and lingering. But then finals were around the corner, and then one by one my friends said goodbye, and when the semester ended I'd stopped thinking about a kitchen of my own.
Now I'm home for the summer. Away from Boston, I'm finally realizing how stressed out I was. Stressed out by work and the looming prospect of My Future. By my friends, and by my parents – my relationship with them is evolving faster than I can keep up. Somewhere along the way, responsibility and anxiety squeezed out the last of my creativity. I wish it hadn't. But then this week, just as quietly as it snuck in, my writer's block packed up and left. I'm walking on tiptoes, hoping it's gone for good. It's taken me a few days to write this post, but I want to be here.
After I started writing, I started brainstorming. I rummaged through our pantry and emptied out the fridge, possibilities unfolding. I was drawn to this recipe because I liked the idea of a simple dessert (what could be more classic than pound cake?) with a twist – the addition of sweetened condensed milk, a lot of it. The result is a moist, vanilla-studded cake, densely crumbed and uniquely sweetened. Adaptable enough to serve with macerated strawberries or a curl of ice cream, intriguing enough to eat plain.
It's enough to pull me back into the kitchen again.
Three quarters of a cup of sweetened condensed milk? My first concern was that the pound cake would be too sugary, but the condensed milk made the loaf unbelievably moist and dense. The result was sweet enough that I didn't need icing, but it wasn't cloying. Three days later the cake was still soft and tender. We have a winner!
I added the cognac to balance the sweetness and it ended up lending an interesting flavor. It could be left out, but I'd recommend trying it.
Condensed Milk Pound Cake
Slightly adapted from Pichet Ong's The Sweet Spot
Makes an 8.5 x 4.5″ loaf
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more to grease the pan
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
1 vanilla bean, chopped, or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon cognac
3 large eggs
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter an 8.5 x 4.5″ loaf pan and set aside.
Sift together the flour and baking powder and set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the sugar and chopped vanilla bean until the bean is finely ground. Sift to remove the large bits of vanilla, then return the sugar to the processor. (If you're opting for extract, simply put the sugar in the processor.)
Add the butter and salt and process until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bottom occasionally. Add the condensed milk and pulse until well incorporated, about 15 times, scraping down the sides of the bowl once. Add the sifted dry ingredients and pulse until no traces of flour remain, about 10 times. Add the eggs and pulse just until combined, about 5 times. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, add the vanilla extract, if using, and finish mixing by hand to fully incorporate the eggs.
Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake until deep golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes. Cool completely in the loaf pan on a rack, then turn out onto a plate. Serve in thick slices.

I'm sorry to hear about the apartment, but maybe it just wasn't meant to be. And the fifty work week is crazy. You have steel-willed determination is all I can say.
Your condensed milk pound cake is gorgeous. It looks so incredibly rich and dense. I can't wait to try it.
Thank you for sharing your stories with us. As a a rising high school senior, I really enjoy reading your posts about college life.
So excited to see you back! I bake about twice a year, and this pound cake might be one of the recipes I use… :)
oh! this sounds delectable. you had me at condensed milk!
The cake looks lovely! And I enjoy having you back. I miss your writing.
I hope you have a lovely summer and a good junior year. Congratulations on the internship.
Glad you're back! We have missed you! The cake looks wonderful!
Enjoyed reading your post and love the sound of this cake – I am a die hard condensed milk fan!
You're such a great writer. I've been subject to certain blogs from people who aspire to be writers and their prose really just falls flat, but you are just awesome. A "curl" of ice cream?! Who could think of that? I love it.
I relate to so much of what you write here. I just graduated college and it's sad how much cooking can just get curbed in that lifestyle. And I also think 80% of the draw of any new apartment or house is a kitchen I could see myself in. For what it's worth, I miss your blog posts and hope you'll have a few more before school sets in again!
So so glad you're back – you should write a general blog to go along with your work here, as you may not always have access to a kitchen, but why let it stop you from posting!! I love your food and passion for it, but above that I just love your writing!

The Steam deal thread
The Steam game discussion thread
Remember, if we have a CAG Steam Group for a game that you're buying, please join the group! The list of CAG Steam groups is found in the Steam discussion thread.
1/7/12 - The Gamersgate ban is partially lifted. You're only able to trade it if you've already revealed the key and are able to give it to the other person to redeem immediately. No gifting.
12/29/12 - Until further notice, the Gamersgate Bethesda/Borderlands 2 bundles are not allowed to be traded. When the whole situation gets cleared up, this may change. Thanks.
Group Buy Tips:
- One person must volunteer to host a group buy. He or she announces this and asks for other people to join the group buy.
- Once a group buy is filled, the host needs to edit his or her posts to reflect that the group is no longer open.
- The people who join a host's group buy will PayPal their portion of the gift pack fee to the host.
- PayPal will charge the host fees for receiving payments unless the person sending payment selects the Gift option when he/she is sending payment. Use discretion when choosing to gift funds. You will not have buyer protection if the host fails to provide the game to you. Still, if the host has positive trade feedback, it's probably safe to trust that person.
- After the transaction is complete (the host has received payment and the buyer has received the game), both the buyer and host should leave trade feedback for each other. Do this by clicking on the host's CAG username. From the host's profile, click on Feedback and then submit new feedback.
- If you have trouble finding a group buy with open slots, consider hosting a group yourself.
- If you already own a game in a gift pack, you may not be able to host a group buy. Steam doesn't allow it with traditional 4-packs.
